This invention utilizes a novel approach to achieve unprecedented accuracy for MEG/EEG medical imaging. Precisely isolating locations in the brain can play an important role in treatment procedures. Based on a variation of minimum mean-square error (MMSE) estimation, this approach is a solution to a previously unsolved problem in brain imaging. The approach has been applied to simulated brain MEG auditory response data and has enabled the capability of resolving, both temporally and spatially, the separate components of the primary and secondary auditory responses. This invention is able to precisely locate the primary and secondary responses. Further, this approach can be used in any application involving MEG/EEG imaging.

Ecological Niche Modeling for Predicting the Potential Geographic Distribution of Invasive Species. This invention uses a novel combination of computer programs and analytical techniques drawn from quantitative geography, artificial intelligence, and the emerging field of biodiversity informatics to provide a tool for predicting, analyzing, and strategizing against agricultural species invasions.

This invention provides a computationally efficient means of performing adaptive pulse compression (APC) and is denoted as the Fast APC (FAPC) algorithm. The FAPC algorithm dramatically reduces range sidelobes while maintaining near optimal signal-to-noise (SNR) gain and is much more computationally efficient than the original APC.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, yet it is clearly preventable by population screening. It has been reported that <5% of women in underdeveloped countries have ever had a Pap test. That is due to shortage of medical resources, shortage of pathologists and cytotechnologists and the limited public awareness regarding screening programs. Some believe that the disease has reached an epidemic proportion with huge human and economic impact that is requiring immediate, innovative practical solutions. Even with the hope of HPV vaccination and the current push for HPV testing as a primary screening method, Pap smear remains to be the best cancer screening method known to mankind. The invention is a new method of using automated cellblock (CB) preparations of liquid-based [ThinPrep + SurePath] and conventional samples to produce virtual slides.
